THE inhabitants of the Andaman
Islands are the smallest race of people in
the world. The average height of full
grown Andamau is four feet five inches,
and few weigh over seventy-six pounds.
They are marvalously swift of foot, and,
as they smear themselves over with a
mixture of oil aud red ocher, present a
very strange appearance. Few travellers
care to encounter any of these bellicose
little people, for their skill in throwing
the spear and in using the bow is only
equaled By their readiness to attack
strangers.

BURNING OF THE FINEST HOUSE AT
HODGES.
The Elegant Dwelling House of the
Late DIR. W.. G., Norwood i'm Ashes.

Last Sunday night the residence Of the late
DR.. w. G. Norwood, near Hodges, was dis
covered to be on fire., The citizens of the
place promptly responded to the alarm, and
made every possible effort to save the build.
ing, and 1t was thought at one time that they
could. The fire OH the lower floor was put
out, but the flames had extended along the
ceiling to the upper stories. This the people
could not stop, and the house was soon des
troyed.
This house was shuilt some eight or ten years
ago, and WAS the finest house I'm that section
Of The County, the building alone costing
creased the cost OF the improvements to
ubout $1,000. After DIR. NorwOod's death
there seemed to be but little demand for IT,
The general regret being that so fine a house
should be built in the country. The property
was sold last winter, when Mr.: Speer, q
lcgatec, living at LAGRANGE, Georgia, became
the purchaser at the nominal sum OF s2,3)0
The house was insured by MessrS. ]. F.. Z
writers Insurance Company for $500. The
rules OF the Company require that the houses
which they insure shall be occupied. and We
presume the question will be raised as 10
whether the insured had not forfeited his pol
icy. II seems that the local agent had called
attention to this stipulation In the insurance
clause, and the insured, by agent or attorney
had agreed to comply with the requirement.
DR.. Townsend, commercial agent for the sale
Of goods, had occupied a room in the house
when he was ut home, but when of on bust
ness the house had been left unoccupled
LaStSaturday DR.. Townsend left, and no
one was in the house Sunday night, when the
house was burnt.
No one knows certainly how the fire orig.
mated, but we think there can be little doubt
that It originated from box Of ashes, which
must have been left in the cook room. A fire
exactly parallel to this would have happened
Mt Abbevlle except for the presence of an oc
cnpant who discovered the fire before 1t made
much headway. The ashes in this instance
had been taken ont of the stove on Friday
morning. At twelve o'clock Saturday night
the house was discovered to be on fire.

AN EXODUS FROM THE GOODWIN HOUSE
Captain w. IL. White and His Board.

The following paragraph from the Green

interest by our people, among whom he and
his family have many warm friends. No
man has been more successful in Green.
willie than Capt. White, and 1t Is a matter OF
great regret that he has gone out Of business.
The bOardcrs at Whites Goodwin House
were each presented on yesterday with a little
note from Capt. White, the lessee, informing
them that they must seek quarters elsewhere
as he had given up the house. There was gen.
cral CONSERVATION and scatteration and the
boarders hastily sought new quarters. Elf.
teen of them went III body to the Mansion
House and engaged table board there.
Capt. White was busy on yesterday moving
his personal effects out of the Goodwin House
into Il private residence. His action Is the re-
suit of diSagrccmcnts with Mr.. Goodwin, the
proprietor, and their inability to make mu.
tually satisfactory arrangements for the ftl'
ture. His plans are not yet made but he fears
he will be compelled to leave here to find a
profitable opening i'll the hotel business
There is hope, however, that such action may
be avoided. Captain White has been very
successful and his going away would be a real
and generally felt loss.
Mr. Goodwin will keep the Goodwin House
open and manage 1t himself until he can find
a good lessee. He says, very justly, that re
cent experience has proved that GreenvillC
can support two first rate hotels and he does
not intend 10 allow his to be closed.
